How do I find the factors or divisors of the number 42,213,116?

Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the factors of larger numbers. To find the factors of the number 42,213,116, it is easiest to start from the outside in. Here's what we mean:

Outside in Factoring

We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table.

1 42,213,116

Next, we take the number 42,213,116 and divide it by 2.

In this case, 42,213,116 ÷ 2 = 21,106,558

If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 21,106,558 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

1 2 21,106,558 42,213,116

Now, we try dividing 42,213,116 by 3.

42,213,116 ÷ 3 = 14,071,038.6667

If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,071,038.6667 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 21,106,558 42,213,116

Let's try dividing by 4.

42,213,116 ÷ 4 = 10,553,279

If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 10,553,279 are factors. Write them in the table below. If the quotient is not a whole number, skip to the next test.

Here is what our table should look like at this step:

1 2 4 10,553,279 21,106,558 42,213,116

We keep dividing by the next largest number, in this case the number 5. If the quotient of 42,213,116 ÷ 5 is a whole number, then 5 and your quotient are factors of the number.


Keep dividing by the next highest number until you cannot divide anymore.


What you will end up with is this table:

124112244959,3891,918,7783,837,55610,553,27921,106,55842,213,116

All of the numbers in the table above can be evenly divided into the number 42,213,116.
